IH-526Jod - Overdyed Type III

[7tacos]

I’m really into the Type IIIs and love the way the Ods look with some wear.  The ideal set up for me is to have a larger sized Type III for layering and a size smaller one for a t-shirt.  One issue with downsizing a Type III is sleeve length because of the stacking that happens with the 21oz as the jacket ages.

How much stacking in the sleeves might one expect?  I’m thinking a half an inch but have no idea.  Would this be offset by the stretch in the shoulders, especially in the OD material?

Maybe others that have an older one can weigh in.

maybe half an inch, yes

XL OD type III with about one month wear.  I'm 5'11, 190 lbs, with a '42 inch chest.  I just threw it on for a quick pic, I'll take some higher quality outside pics later.  [edit- I really hate it when people say they're going to do this and don't so I will ASAP]

BTW, the sleeve hem rides right over the edge of my rotator cuff when the jackets buttoned so i'd say the fit's very good.  I'll post better pics later to get a fuller idea of fit.  I love the jacket and wear it constantly.  There's room for a buzz Rickson large sweat underneath or my other 13 oz and 10 oz hoodies.

Wow. Too bad that it's endangered…

I discussed another Type III concept last night - think traditional cut, but with a nice little twist.  You will not be disappointed - Will run past Haraki tonight…...

You are a serious tease sometimes…
Zipper?
Embroidery?
WHAT IS IT???!!!

[Giles]

I need Haraki to OK to say it is possible first.  Nothing earth shattering, so don't hold your breath….........

[Katsushin]

But it will be OD?
Zhivago's got one so I see it quite often, and it has become my "dream" piece to get…
(Unless an OD vest materialized...That would be it for me)

[Giles]

If I get the OK, I will do the new one in Indigo and OD …...............

Dig it…You can't miss with the OD IMO.  Love the way it looks and feels.

I worn an OD jacket long time ago, in my 20… I loved it, and seeing these OD type III from IH made me happy...
... and unhappy, 'cause they are sold out!
But i'll wait my turn...

Hi,

I just received my jacket this morning.  It's the first Iron Heart product I have purchased and I couldn't be happier with it!

Thanks,
Griffin

congrats Griffin, how about some pics?

[7tacos]

I almost bought another after getting my XL…

Thanks!  Sure, as long as you don't mind crappy cell phone pics.  If you want a fit pic it'll likely be me standing in front of a bathroom mirror though.
